Love this update!

I was dreading the 'score first then shut down all scoring' tactic, because it commits one of the worst sins of FIRST: It renders the game *boring*.

I know, I know, some people will disagree with me on what does and does not constitute 'boring', but I think of things from the perspective of the casual spectator. It MUST be exciting to non-participant spectators (e.g. friends, family, classmates, and invitees of those on the teams) in order to fulfill it's mandate of changing the culture.

Lunacy: reasonable fun to play, boring to watch as a casual observer (because it was too hard to keep track of everything going on if you weren't nails-on with the rules). GDC solution: hire people who specialize in entertainment. And GOOD FOR THEM.

Logomotion: both boring to play AND boring to watch if this strategy is enacted.

Defense isn't outlawed, you just have to give the other teams a chance.

Woot, I say. Woot!
